Novo Lenio

This is a Samuel Hazo's National Band Association award-winning composition, a continuous three-movement work that offers various styles and much to keep your interest. Based on a school alma mater, the sections are varied in mood yet cohesive in thematic material. The first movement, Remembrance, is somewhat somber in tone; the second movement Qui Non Proficit Deficit is more dissonant; and the final movement A New Beginning is meant to sound full and proud.
